Queenstown 2nd-3rd April 2017

The 22nd running of this tournament that thoroughly deserves the title "Classic" saw a new Tournament Director for the first time in it's reign. But that didn't stop the spectacular scenes of disc golf magic and mate-ship. New TD Paul Child provides the story and pics...

Paradise Disc Golf Course, near Glenorchy, South Island 3-5 February

It just gets better and better. Our 2017 NZDG Championships were our 39th annual Nationals - we've come a long way. A great course, well run, well catered for and the standard of play was right up there. Not just by the visiting Pro's either. Well done to Jacko Sullivan who topped the Kiwi standings in an otherwise all Pro 'Super 6'.

Monte Cecilia Park November 19-20

One of the few tournaments on The Tour now where we have to haul baskets onto the course (as well as deal with a council who seems to be purposely making this as hard as possible), but once the fun begins it is all worth it! Thanks to everybody who helped make this happen, what a brilliant weekend of Disc Golf.

Twizel October 29-30 November

Just the thought of that stunning drive from Queenstown up the guts of the South Island to Twizel was enough to get this reporter on the plane for a weekend in the Southern Alps. Not to mention a chance to catch up with the locals and play Disc Golf in that clean alpine air.

Waitawa Regional Park 18-19 June 2016

After one of the worlds best disc golfers Dave Feldberg described this course as "the toughest I've ever played", it was always going to be interesting to see who would turn up to take it on a second time.

Twenty nine players did and looked like it was a lot more enjoyable the second time.

Queenstown 2nd-3rd April 2016

Following up on last year's amazing 20th Classic celebrations the Wakatipu reached yet new levels of excitment and incredible scenery as 50 players gathered to enjoy 2 of the wonderful disc golf courses that feature at this stunning part of the world.

Redwood Disc Golf Park, Rotorua. January 16-17 2016

The 2016 NZDG Tour is up and running. Event number one is always a great chance to see who's put in the work over the holiday period and what a stunning two days we had in the Rotorua Redwoods on this now 18 permanent basket course. In this reporter's mind there is no better place to spend a hot summer's day than in the shade of the giant redwoods with a disc in your hand.
